My pharmacist is stunningly handsome, 6'4, bright blue eyes, dark haired babe who I have been flirting with for approx. three years.
He's Egyptian and completely wonderful. His downsides are...he's been divorced and he has a child. Obviously I'd prefer to be someones first but sometimes you meet someone that you'll bend the rules for.
He is that guy for me.
So I walk in yesterday and none of his staff are in yet.
First thing he asks, "are you married yet?"
(He knows I am single and dating.)
I laugh, "of course not. Are you?"
"No, I was just checking. I am not feeling well today at all. Come give me a hug."
I walk towards him and hug him.
"Give me the hardest hug you can."
I squeeze tighter. (Mind you he is crazy tall and I'm only 5'7)
"Mmmmmm....so good. Can you come twice a day, everyday?"
Damn, that's the most flirtation I've gotten from him. Must be because the staff isn't around?
"If you shave this beard, I'll consider it."
"What?! You don't like it? The older ladies love it."
"Well this younger lady doesn't"
(He's 35, I am 28 so not a huge age difference.)
Then he says, "you should come babysit my son. He's so cute and you love kids."
(He's my fb friend so he sees the dozens of photos I post with my angelic little cousins)
He whips out his phone and shows me a few photos of his son. He is really cute. Is this babysitting ploy a way to get me to come over to gauge if I can hang with your kid/determine if you could date me?
Hmmmm....
"I'd love to babysit, he's adorable, and I love kids."
Then a customer walks in and I depart.
The connection is there -- ASK ME OUT, good Lord. He's probably overthinking this x10000 because I send my clients to his pharmacy and if it didn't work out, it could be awkward.
He is also super jaded because of his ex.
Sigh.
Probably not the smartest tree for me to bark up but he's so kind and so gorgeous....butterflies even thinking about him.
Egyptian is also my favorite flavor.
Onto things that are actually occurring: tonights second date with Chase.
He called me last night (which is crazy, who makes phone calls anymore?) and suggested I drive to his place and we can walk to dinner from there. His voice is incredibly hot and he is a baaabe. I am excited for round two with this guy. :) I also woke up to a text from him about music and the exchanged ended with, "can't wait to see you tonight!" Eeeeeeee!
Date 2 with Velcro is Friday. I gave him a get out of jail free card for our date. He mentioned wanting to raise his kids Jewish and I'm not anti-Jew but I am anti raising my kids religiously. I wasn't and that let me decide as an adult if/what I wanted to label myself as. I intend to do the exact same for my kids. So IDK if it's a deal breaker for him but it is for me. He wants to keep the date so we shall keep the date. I guess we can dive deeper into this then?
Talk about a crazy week of dates. Saturday I have another new one with a surgeon I matched with yesterday. He seems funny and assured me his shoe game is on point. (I changed my tinder profile to read, "a connoisseur of all good things & a big fan of guys with stellar taste in shoes") So far, the shoe part has started a lot of fun tinder chats. I guess I can thank Velcro for that one?
LASTLY - Antonio and I were texting yesterday and he referred to our Saturday late night hookup as "a fun mistake". Ummmm...no. Not saying the bathroom sex was meaningful but no. He also said not to put my life on hold for him. Uhhhh do you know me? Sure as fuck am not doing that. So I am cutting communication. If he contacts me, I'll reply but no more sending the first snap or text. FUUUUUCK that. Go take back your ex and get back to being basic already. Stop prolonging the inevitable, damn Bruce.
Anyways, wish me luck tonight with Chase, Thursday with my dinner party of X tinder dates, Friday with Velcro, and Saturday with surgeon.
